<br />FEA Reimbursement Program
<br />
<br />The Federal Energy Administration has had a pro-
<br />gram of cooperative agreements with States to carry
<br />out a variety of energy planning studies and programs.
<br />Implemented in FY '75, the program has been re-
<br />quested for continuation in the FY '76 Budget. These
<br />funds can be used for fuel allocation programs. State-
<br />wide energy plans and studies of the impacts of energy
<br />policies and resource development. Money can be
<br />re-allocated by States to their local governments for
<br />the same purposes. Alabama has used some of its
<br />funds in studying the proposed Ameraport (see page
<br />12), Arizona used funds to assess the impacts of
<br />energy development, and Virginia used funds for
<br />looking at the impacts of offshore oil.

<br />Coastal Zone Management (11.418)
<br />
<br />The Coastal lone Management Act of 1972
<br />authorized the Commerce Department to give grants
<br />to the 34 eligible coastal states to plan for a coastal
<br />:zone management program. The grants are given
<br />annually, with a three.year limit. It is assumed the
<br />planning will be complete by 1977. Each plan must
<br />take energy projects into account. And planning
<br />must be done in cooperation with local governments
<br />within the defined "coastal zone." A special appropria.
<br />tion of $3 million each year in FY '75 and FY '76
<br />goes to States to study the impacts of potential DCS
<br />development. A guidance paper is available to the
<br />States from ClM.
<br />HUD has recently signed an interagency agreement
<br />with ClM to insure consistency in land use planning
<br />and particularly in regulation. Planning done in the
<br />coastal zone under ClM can also meet the HUD 701
<br />Comprehensive Planning requirements for land use
<br />and housing elements.

<br />EPA "208" Planning for Wastewater Systems (66.426)
<br />
<br />Section 208 of the Federal Water Pollution Control
<br />Act Amendments of 1972 created a major planning
<br />program for areawide waste water treatment manage.
<br />ment planning. By the end of FY '75, the Environ-
<br />mental Protection Agency had designated 149 regional
<br />agencies and areas, largely in metropolitan areas, as
<br />the "208" planning agencies. I n most cases, the State
<br />Governor designates the agency, usually an existing
<br />planning agency such as a council of governments,
<br />sub-State district or other areawide district. The State
<br />is responsible for conducting planning in areas not
<br />designated.
<br />The funding is committed at the beginning for the
<br />entire two-year planning process. Most plans are now
<br />due between January and November, 1977. The HUD
<br />701 land use and housing elements are also due in
<br />1977, so HUO and EPA reached an interagency agree.
<br />ment to coordinate the land use aspects of the HUD
<br />701 and EPA 208 programs,
<br />States and local communities can work with the
<br />208 agency to assure that their plans consider the
<br />impacts of energy projects. Much of the basic inven-
<br />tory work, such as aerial photos done by 208, can be
<br />used in local planning.
<br />Regions with impacted communities have received
<br />EPA 208 planning grants. The Colorado West Council
<br />of Governments has $363,000 for the area impacted
<br />by oil shale development. The Five County Associa-
<br />tion of Governments in Southwest Utah has $380,000,
<br />while $375,000 went to Butte County, South Dakota.
<br />The Powder River Area of Wyoming, including
<br />Campbell County, has a grant of $415,000.

<br />Regional Commissions
<br />
<br />The eight regional commissions each have the
<br />authority to grant funds to their states, areawide dis.
<br />tricts or local governments for planning purposes. This
<br />can include money for technical assistance, research
<br />studies, planning and demonstration projects.
<br />The Appalachian Regional Commission has three
<br />programs which may be useful:
<br />
<br />State Housing Technical Assistance - to states only,
<br />averages about $85,000 annually (23.0061
<br />Local Development District Assistance (23.009) -
<br />basic support for 69 LDD's, averages $51,000
<br />State Research, Technical Assistance and Demonstra-
<br />tion Projects 123.011) - discretionary grants to
<br />states for projects of regional significance; about
<br />90 projects this year averaging $20,000
